The donation locations are most Bi-Lo stores in Greenville County, churches, Starbucks locations and some fitness centers/gyms. Volunteers can choose the location(s) most convenient to their daily routes. Delivery of the donations to McAlister Square is Monday-Friday, 9am to 4pm (help will be available to unload).

·  Book Sale (August 15): GSHRM has partnered with the Greenville Literacy Association to provide volunteers for their annual book sale, The Really Good, Really Big, Really Cheap Book Sale, which will be held on August 14, 15 and 16, 2015, at McAlister Square. Volunteer activities include straightening books and restocking, standing "guard" to watch books shoppers have selected while they continue shopping, and preparing tickets for the cashiers. GSHRM volunteers are needed on Saturday, August 15, to fill shifts from 8:30am to 12:30pm and from 12:30pm to 4:30pm. Volunteers are also needed on Thursday, August 13 to haul books from storage and set up for the sale, and on Sunday, August 16, to take down the event.
